I moved to Michigan in August 2009 from North Carolina. My boyfriend was accepted into a PhD program at MSU and I was ready for a change, so I decided to move with him. In November 2009, I took a position with the Power of We AmeriCorps State program at the South Lansing Community Development Association as the Urban Gardens Coordinator. Now in 2011, as the Health Initiatives Coordinator and manager of the South Lansing Community Farmers Market, I enjoy my work helping the community gain access to fresh, locally produced food and teaching nutrition education to both youth and adults. I love working with the many collaborative groups in Lansing, especially the Youth Gardening Coalition and Let's Garden Lansing. I feel fortunate to have a job with opportunities to enjoy Lansing's great outdoors and diverse community.
